Auntie Mabel was still beaten four lengths despite finishing second at Folkestone last time and fellow handicap debutant LITTLE RAINBOW is just preferred. The latter ended last season with a third at Leicester and should be up to winning off her current mark this year. Nottingham winner Sanad is another worth noting on his return and Compton Target may finally have slipped down to a winning mark judged on his latest close-up fifth over 7f here. Justbookies Dotnet scored over C&D last month but has failed to figure in a couple of starts since.
